The Canning River Eco Education Centre

Positive action for the health of our environment

Ideally located on the banks of the Canning River, adjacent to Kent Street Weir and within the Canning River Regional Park, CREEC aims to raise awareness and create positive action for the health of our waterways and the surrounding natural environment. They work collaboratively with local environmental groups, not-for-profit organisations, schools, government agencies and private businesses.

Canning River Regional Park

Extending six kilometres along the Canning River between the Riverton and Nicholson Road bridges, the Canning River Regional Park is a significant reserve.

• It covers approximately 266 hectares, and the park is unique for its conservation values and recreational opportunities within an urban setting.
• First set aside for public use in the 19th century, the park consists of large areas of parkland and extensive wetlands managed for the protection of biodiversity.
• It is home to more than 100 species of birds and a widely diverse range of flora and fauna.
